Dutch GP (Santa Monica) - September 3-5, 2021

Exactly, Bottas! Get lost, James! 😍 🤣

He completely blew his chance chasing that FL—what was he even thinking?

With this move, he’s effectively sealed Valtteri Bottas's departure in stone.

But honestly, let it be; if he’s going to cause trouble, at least he did it by targeting the British icons.

Pierre Gasly and Fernando Alonso did an excellent job.

And what exactly did he do? 😁

The Director was totally useless today. We didn't even get to see how Fernando Alonso cleared Carlos Sainz because they spent the whole time obsessively tracking Max Verstappen on the track for no reason. They should have just let the duel play out and then switched over to Max once he hit the straightaway.

Perez pits early, burns through his first set of hards, completely tanks the strategy, and ends up finishing eighth.

Nice work, Adrian Newey.
Well done.

Not exactly feeling that whole kamikaze vibe today, I guess.

Well, damn... 🤣

Way to go, Max 👋 🙂

Nice work, Maestro 🙏 😍

I guess I’m actually enjoying this season

Sergio Perez kicks off the weekend by spilling a massive bucket of milk all over the floor. He spends the rest of the weekend trying to clean up the mess, eventually scraping together about five liters just to break even. Honestly, he looks okay for now, but I'll be watching closely. 🤣

Way to go, Max! He had everything under control—just fast enough when it mattered. The leadership is finally back in the hands of the guy who’s actually earned it this season.

Valtteri Bottas 🙏 This was basically a massive middle finger to James—the way they have to babysit a driver just to chase a fast lap is honestly pathetic.

What "screw you, James"? He slowed down in the final sector. He was flying through the first two sectors and then just backed off once they told him to abort the lap.

Valtteri looks completely defeated. He’s absolutely crushed.

Msm, it’s hardly any surprise when the idiots at Mercedes-Benz treat you like a fool.

He didn't really slow down once he posted that fast lap—if anything, he just forced his teammate into the pits.

Sergio Perez was breathing down Alonso and Carlos Sainz's necks during those last couple of laps—too bad they didn't show what they had.

I gotta say, Maestro was actually playing it smart with those tires for once. It’s honestly wild because that’s the first time I’ve ever found myself siding against him

I’ve been there myself.
For five seasons now, he’s been driving basically the same car that Lewis Hamilton uses to win championships, while Valtteri Bottas just sits there struggling.
And yet, they still put up with him at Mercedes-Benz.

Haha, look at Lewis Hamilton. He’s practically cowering like a frightened little bird, sucking up to the crowd just because he's terrified they might start booing him.

What a beautiful anthem.😁

The natural order of things has finally been restored; the absolute best driver is sitting right at the front of the pack, exactly where he belongs.

There is a massive difference between "Lewis's pit error" and the command "don't go for the fastest lap." They are two entirely different issues.

James Vowles is nothing more than a complete sycophant.

"Wise guy," huh? What are you even trying to pull there?

That’s exactly how it should be.

Just a quick side note: I can't help but think about how many royals and kings are involved there... and man, that rendition of the anthem was absolutely electric.🎉
